Is it possible to add validation to a cell such that if it is null an
error/warning message appears? The cell should allow any value to be entered, it just can't be null. Thanks! |

I don't think so via Data|Validation.
But maybe you could just use an adjacent cell (formatted in nice big bold red letters): =if(a1<"","","<-- This cell cannot be empty") Spyder wrote: Is it possible to add validation to a cell such that if it is null an error/warning message appears?

Hi
you can't do it via data / validation - as this only works when someone enters something into the cell - you could however, put code against a worksheet_selectionchange, workbook_beforeprint or workbook_beforeclose event - which ever is the most appropriate that doesn't let them select another sheet / print or close the workbook without data in a specific place. If you'ld like additional information on how to this, please nominate an event and the cell(s) you want to check. Cheers JulieD "Spyder" wrote in message ...
